About this listen

When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But to Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems.

The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, eventually leading him to the gates of the nation’s royal academy – a whole world of secrets in itself.

But this is only the beginning of his discoveries. Something is stirring in the land, something more ominous than the rising threat of hostile nations. Fearful travellers whisper of an ancient power breathing over Thirna, changing it, waking it. In the very heart of these stirrings, Aedan encounters that which defies belief, leaving him speechless with terror – and wonder.

Enjoyed from start to finish，couldnt stop and dreaded the end of the book as book 2 is not out yet! Loved at the same level as name of the wind and way of kings stories! I am indeed looking forward to book 2!

Everything, one of the best narrations ever

Don't, movies ruin great books like this, and a tagline couldnt summerise this wonderland

Not only was the narration wonderful but the story was enthralling, exquisite, and masterfully written! I haven't enjoyed a book more since the name of the wind. I can't wait for the next one!

The single most fantastic book I have ever read!

loved it...
almost gave up at the beginning as the pace was slow moving but when the adventures began i was unable to stop. I think my real life suffered slightly by the attention i afforded the story, however it was well repaid.

slow to start but well worth the wait!

Patience is required for the first few chapters but it is richly rewarded. I cannot wait for the next instalment.

Amazing!
